Read Surah Ash-Shura
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكٰٓؤُا شَرَعُوْا لَهُمْ مِّنَ الدِّیْنِ مَا لَمْ یَاْذَنْۢ بِهِ اللّٰهُ ؕ وَ لَوْ لَا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ وَ اِنَّ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ۲۱
Have they other associates who have prescribed another law for them which has not been dispensed by God? But for the decisive Word (of God) a sentence would have been passed amongst them. Surely there is a grievous punishment for the ungodly.تَرَی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ مُشْفِقِیْنَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوْا وَ هُوَ وَاقِعٌۢ بِهِمْ ؕ وَ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ فِیْ رَوْضٰتِ الْجَنّٰتِ ۚ لَهُمْ مَّا یَشَآءُوْنَ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ ؕ ذٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِیْرُ۲۲
You will see the evil-doers full of fear of what they deserve, yet it will come to pass. But those who believe and do the right will be in gardens of Paradise. They will receive what they wish from their Lord; and this will be the greatest favour.ذٰلِكَ الَّذِیْ یُبَشِّرُ اللّٰهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ ؕ قُلْ لَّاۤ اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اَجْرًا اِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِی الْقُرْبٰی ؕ وَ مَنْ یَّقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهٗ فِیْهَا حُسْنًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ شَكُوْرٌ۲۳
This is the good news that God gives to His creatures who believe and do good. Say: "I ask no recompense of you for it other than obligations of relationship." We shall give more excellence to him who acquires excellence. Surely God forgives and accepts (gratitude).اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا ۚ فَاِنْ یَّشَاِ اللّٰهُ یَخْتِمْ عَلٰی قَلْبِكَ ؕ وَ یَمْحُ اللّٰهُ الْبَاطِلَ وَ یُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ۲۴
Do they say he has fabricated a lie about God? He could have sealed your hearts if He pleased; but God blots out the false and vindicates the truth by His dispensations, for He knows the secrets of the hearts.وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ یَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِهٖ وَ یَعْفُوْا عَنِ السَّیِّاٰتِ وَ یَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُوْنَۙ۲۵
It is He who accepts repentance from His creatures and forgives their trespasses, for He knows what you do.وَ یَسْتَجِیْبُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَ یَزِیْدُهُمْ مِّنْ فَضْلِهٖ ؕ وَ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِیْدٌ۲۶
He answers (the prayers) of those who believe and do good, and gives them more of His bounty. But for the unbelievers there is severe punishment.وَ لَوْ بَسَطَ اللّٰهُ الرِّزْقَ لِعِبَادِهٖ لَبَغَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ لٰكِنْ یُّنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٍ مَّا یَشَآءُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ بِعِبَادِهٖ خَبِیْرٌۢ بَصِیْرٌ۲۷
If God were to give in abundance to His creatures they would fill the earth with oppression. So He gives according to measure as He will. He knows (what is good for) His creatures. He is all-aware and all-seeing.وَ هُوَ الَّذِیْ یُنَزِّلُ الْغَیْثَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا قَنَطُوْا وَ یَنْشُرُ رَحْمَتَهٗ ؕ وَ هُوَ الْوَلِیُّ الْحَمِیْدُ۲۸
It is He who sends down rain when they had despaired of it, and showers His benevolence. He is the protector worthy of praise.وَ مِنْ اٰیٰتِهٖ خَلْقُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَثَّ فِیْهِمَا مِنْ دَآبَّةٍ ؕ وَ هُوَ عَلٰی جَمْعِهِمْ اِذَا یَشَآءُ قَدِیْرٌ۠۲۹
The creation of the heavens and the earth and all the living things dispersed in them, are a sign of His. He has the power to gather them together when He will.وَ مَاۤ اَصَابَكُمْ مِّنْ مُّصِیْبَةٍ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَیْدِیْكُمْ وَ یَعْفُوْا عَنْ كَثِیْرٍؕ۳۰
Whatever misfortune befalls you is a consequence of your deeds; yet He forgives much.
